光緒元寶是清朝光緒年間流通的貨幣之一。是大清光緒年流通大面值貨幣之首，也是我國首批引進海外技術(shù)的印發(fā)流通貨幣，兩廣總督張之洞曾于光緒十三年(1887年)委托使英大臣在英國訂購全套造幣機器，并在廣東錢局首鑄機制銀元和銅元由。之后各省紛紛仿效。共有十九個省局鑄造，除中央戶部，地方省所鑄銅元，皆在其正面上緣鐫寫省名。英國大工業(yè)的介入，使銀幣也沾染上西方色彩。錢幣正面鮮然可見滿漢文化的融合，而錢背卻明確標示了西方文化的介入。洋造光緒元寶是當時的造幣質(zhì)量最高，也是最早的一批光緒元寶。之后才有的各大省份的元寶出現(xiàn)。清朝末年，當時朝野上下發(fā)生了銀元單位之爭，幣制未統(tǒng)一。北洋機器局更名北洋造幣局，鑄行較早脫離“兩單位”的銀幣后，又于光緒二十五年始，鑄行面值庫平紀重的“光緒元寶”。
近期貴州瑞麟征集到一枚品相精美的斜錯版四川省造光緒元寶：
Guangxu Yuanbao was one of the currencies circulated during the period of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty. In Guangxu year of the Great Qing Dynasty, the first large denominated currencies were circulated, and also the first circulation currencies introduced overseas technology. In 1887, Governor Zhang Zhidong of Guangxu and Guangzhou commissioned the British Minister to order a complete set of coin machines in the United Kingdom, and in Guangdong Money Bureau, he first made silver and copper yuan. After that, provinces followed suit. There are nineteen provincial bureaus casting. Except for the central household department, the copper coins cast by local provinces are all inscribed on the upper margin of their fronts. The intervention of British big industry has also stained silver coins with Western colors. On the positive side of coins, the integration of Manchu and Han cultures can be seen, while Qianbei clearly indicates the intervention of Western cultures. The foreign-made Guangxu Yuanbao is the highest quality of coinage at that time, and it is also the earliest batch of Guangxu Yuanbao. Only then did the Yuanbao of the major provinces emerge. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a dispute between the government and the countryside over the silver unit, and the currency system was not unified. Beiyang Machinery Bureau changed its name to Beiyang Mint Bureau. After the bank broke away from the "two units" of silver coins earlier, it began to coin the "Guangxu Yuan Bao" with the face value of Kuping Jizhong in the twenty-fifth year of Guangxu.
Recently, Guizhou Ruilin collected a beautiful skew edition of Sichuan Making Guangxu Yuanbao:
此枚錢幣為四川省造的光緒元寶錯版幣，正面珠圈上環(huán)鑄“四川省造”，下環(huán)鑄“庫平七錢二分”，內(nèi)為滿漢文“光緒元寶”四字，字體俊秀典雅。錢背面為蟠龍圖，左右兩邊各有一圓點心，上下環(huán)英文。蟠龍為短須龍，龍鱗雕刻細密有致，騰云駕霧，身姿遒勁有力，龍爪張揚，神武有力，龍身盤踞太陽，盡展皇家威嚴大氣。蟠龍圖工藝精湛，雕工完美，浮雕感強烈，鏡面平整光滑，紋飾的相慣線，顯得非常清晰。錢幣制作精良，包漿自然，品相上乘。四川機器局前身，其銀元發(fā)展歷程映襯著中國晚清貨幣政策的進與退，每一次段檔也刻錄著一次歷史的顛婆。
This coin is a misprinted version of Guangxu Yuanbao coin made in Sichuan Province. The front bead ring is made of "made in Sichuan Province" and the lower ring is made of "Kuping Qian Bian". It has four characters of "Guangxu Yuanbao" in Manchu and Chinese, and its font is handsome and elegant. On the back of the money is a picture of the dragon. There is a round snack on both sides. The upper and lower rings are in English. Panlong is a short-bearded dragon. The dragon scales are carefully carved, cloudy and foggy. Its body is strong, its claws are open and its divine force is powerful. The dragon body covers the sun and displays the Royal majesty. Panlong drawings are exquisite in craftsmanship, perfect in carving, strong in relief, smooth and smooth in mirror surface, and the relative inertia line of decoration is very clear. Coins are well made, naturally wrapped and of excellent quality. Sichuan Machinery Bureau, the predecessor of the Silver Yuan Development Process, reflects the progress and retreat of China's monetary policy in the late Qing Dynasty. Each stage also records a historical bumpkin.
最關(guān)鍵的是此枚錢幣為錯版幣。正常情況下，光緒元寶正面中軸線與背面中軸線應(yīng)對中，而這兩枚銀幣錢背面龍頭位置偏移45°角，與一般的不同，因而屬于錯版幣。錢幣出廠都要經(jīng)過嚴格的檢驗程序，出錯的概率通常在百萬分之一到千萬分之一。所以出現(xiàn)失誤的這種情況非常少，因而錯版數(shù)量寥寥無幾，輾轉(zhuǎn)百多年歷史的無窮洗禮，能完好無缺保存至今，更是珍罕無比，是鳳毛麟角的存在，價值彌足珍貴！光緒元寶錯版幣不僅在當時的很稀少的，在如今的收藏市場也是極為罕見，因此價值非凡。
光緒元寶在我國近代金融貨幣流通領(lǐng)域內(nèi)，占據(jù)了極其重要的地位，因此也成為我國近代貨幣發(fā)展史的重要課題，此枚四川省造錢幣包漿自然，字體端正，龍態(tài)生動更贏得廣大錢幣收藏愛好者的喜愛！因清代以來經(jīng)歷了多場戰(zhàn)爭，珍稀的光緒元寶損失嚴重，至今，數(shù)量已經(jīng)極其有限。龍紋光緒元寶，這種元寶非常獨特，它所代表的不僅僅是金錢，還有光緒年間的經(jīng)濟情況。為此，眾多收藏家都紛涌而至，以期能夠找出龍紋光緒元寶，以滿足清代經(jīng)濟研究所需，是具有重要的文化意義和收藏價值的收藏佳品。
The most important thing is that the coin is the wrong version. Normally, the front and back axes of Guangxu Yuanbao should be centered, and the two silver coins'back faucets are offset by 45 degrees, which is different from the general ones, so they belong to the wrong version. Coins are subject to strict inspection procedures when they are manufactured. The probability of error is usually one in a million to one in ten million. So there are very few mistakes in this situation, so the number of wrong editions is very few. The infinite baptism of more than a hundred years of history can be well preserved to this day, and it is extremely rare. It is the existence of rare and precious. Guangxu Yuanbao coins were not only scarce at that time, but also very rare in today's collection market, so they are of great value.
Guangxu Yuanbao occupies an extremely important position in the field of modern financial and monetary circulation in our country, so it has also become an important topic in the history of modern monetary development in our country. This Sichuan coin-making bag is natural, correct in font and vivid in style, which has won the favor of the vast number of coin collectors. Since the Qing Dynasty, there have been many wars, and the rare Guangxu Yuanbao has suffered serious losses. So far, the number has been extremely limited. Longwen Guangxu Yuanbao, this kind of Yuanbao is very unique, it represents not only money, but also the economic situation during the Guangxu period. For this reason, many collectors have flocked to find out the Longwen Guangxu Yuan Bao in order to meet the needs of the Qing Dynasty Economic Research Institute, which is a collection of great cultural significance and collection value.
